A few years ago, I had a red fox who visited my yard several times a day. We got to know each other at a distance. He would let me photograph him and wait down in the field until I put out bird seed. He seemed to like eating seed. On one occasion, he caught a squirrel but when he saw me come out with bird seed, he left the squirrel in the field and came up for the seed and then returned to take the squirrel home. He was a real beauty. He brought his mate on one occasion but she was very shy and did not come out of the tall grasses,
